What was that about Williams’ bad game?
-
I hear this a lot and I don’t understand it. Consistently wrong is still wrong. No one would accept a line judge in tennis who consistently gave a little over the line or was tight on the line, as long as he was consistent with both sides. I’d rather them just get the calls right because if they’re getting them wrong, chances are that they’re not going to be consistent about it either. They have the technology to get them right.
-
And now he squeezes Quintana. Screw you, dude.
-
Unfortunately when you have a poor umpire, as most are these days, who continues to call the strike zone incorrectly, the pitcher can keep working the part of the zone that’s being called wrong, and Vaughn is forced to keep chasing it, resulting in ABs like that. Robots.
-
Lockridge would have grounded into a double play to end the inning anyway… if you’re a believer that his bat result would have been the same.
-
Was just a matter of time before we got to this guy. Now let’s get some more.
-
Wilmer Flores is still around? He’s made quite the little mediocre career for himself. I don’t think we missed out on a ton.
-
Really frustrating last week of offense with plenty of traffic and very little substance to show for it.
-
Should be able to get something going against Whisenhunt.
-
Q is falling behind almost every hitter.
-
Well that inning was fun for like 10 minutes and then went from 60 to 0 in about 30 seconds.
-
Looks like he felt like doing it for Matos too, then.
-
Quintana not sharp at all tonight. We better bring the bats.
-
By pretty much every measurement, Jansen is as good or better than Haase. I like Haase as well as the next guy but he went unclaimed by every single MLB team when he was DFAed. In addition to that, having Jansen allows us to keep Haase in AAA for depth and injury protection.
-
Yeah, I really don’t get why they don’t just DFA him and get someone who can actually play shortstop up. Maybe they just don’t want to start the clock on Pratt, I don’t know.
-
I’m sort of terrified for the mental health of this board, including my own, the first time we see Andrew Vaughn missing from the lineup card in favor of Jake Bauers, because we all know that is absolutely happening sometime in the next week.
-
Yeah, I certainly don’t expect him to get a standing ovation every time his name gets announced. But give him his due when he’s first introduced, he’s certainly earned that, and then after that just treat him like any other opponent.
-
So just to be absolutely clear that I’m understanding correctly what you are saying, MLB is a rigged, unfair system, but in the corporate free market, mom and pops have a fair shake against corporate conglomerates such as, say, Walmart, and if they can’t compete in that market then that’s on them.
-
Yeah, I don’t know why the rest of us are peasants living paycheck to paycheck out of necessity just because we don’t make MLB money.
-
It’s not your place or decision to decide what should or should not be the most important things to Willy Adames. It’s just not. Good grief.
-
WILLY is set for life, if he makes the right financial decisions. What if he has cousins and wants to pay for all their education? What if he has people back home in the DR that he wants to help? What if he has several charitable organizations that he wants to make a significant difference for? What if he has a sustainable plan to ensure that not just he is set for life, but numerous future generations of his family? Most importantly, who are you to tell him that his loyalty to a baseball team should be more important to him than any of those things?
-
Also, taking a personal 80% paycut to stay with your home team is not the stand against the big man that he is portraying in these posts. It would also seriously piss off his peers, particularly other middle infielders.
-
Absolutely. And it doesn’t mean that I begrudge MA for not retaining him.
-
I totally understand the Brewers letting Adames walk. I think all parties understood the circumstances, even though the parting was hard. I think the Brewers have been shown correct in their thinking/decision. I understand why they need to pick and choose their spots. But man, Adames was a great Brewer. He did a lot for us, gave us a lot of great memories and great play. He was clearly a joy in the clubhouse. Then his contract expired and he went elsewhere. It’s business. It happens. Now he has enough money to take care of his family for generations. For goodness sake, I can’t understand why anyone would feel anything but happiness for him. It’s just baseball.
-
So because “disadvantaged” owner Mark Attanasio can’t afford the free agent price tag of *every* Brewer player with an expiring contract, (he can absolutely afford to be “loyal” to Adames in a vacuum), what should happen is that all Brewer players that we want to keep should show their loyalty to the Brewers by taking a massive haircut in pay relative to what their peers around the league make. Got it.
